I'm not doing this kyra. Because you're a 16 year old girl and I'm a 20 year old man. I've been where you are. I've thought the same damn things that you're thinking right now. I know what you're doing, and that's how I know you're full of shit.
I'm not doing this. You aren't getting a response out of me. When and if you pull your head out of your ass, feel free to send me a text. But I'm not gonna just stand by and watch you go to guy after guy trying to figure out what you want and need . I'm not waiting for you. And if you think I'm gonna stick around, you're an idiot.
This is not a conversation. This is not an argument. This is me talking and you listening. Now I'm gonna say this once and that's because it's the last damn thing you're ever gonna hear from me.
You're lying. You did something bad. You did something that would hurt me. So you decided that lying to me would protect me from being hurt. You were wrong. I am hurt. Because you lied. Because in less than 2 weeks of dating me, you found and made problems in something where there should have been none. And then you went and acted like the hero, about how you couldn't live with yourself if you knew you'd eventually hurt me. You aren't getting off that easy. YOU are the one with an issue. YOU are the one who started ignoring and avoiding me. YOU are the one who waited an entire week to end things with me. I'm the one whose been sitting here waiting for you. I'm the I've whose had anxiety attacks, and had to get drunk just to handle the thought that you wanted to leave. And ultimately, I'm the victim. Not you. Because I thought you actually cared about me. I thought you wanted to be with me.
I was wrong. I was wrong about you. And that's a mistake I'm never going to make again. Pull your head out of your ass Kyra. I'm not a test subject for you to fuck around with then abandon. I'm a human being. And I deserve to be treated like one.

moreNational Oil Companies (NOCs) play an important role in the world economy. They produce most of the world's oil and bankroll governments across the globe. Although NOCs superficially resemble private-sector companies, they often behave in very different ways. Oil and Governance explains the variation in performance and strategy for NOCs and provides fresh insights into the future of the oil industry as well as the politics of the oil-rich countries where NOCs dominate. It comprises fifteen case studies, each following a common research design, of NOCs based in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe. The book also includes cross-cutting pieces on the industrial structure of the oil industry and the politics and administration of NOCs. This book is the largest and most systematic analysis of NOCs to date and is suitable for audiences from industry and academia, as well as policy makers. less

Reverse Repo
"The Economic Outlook Keeps Getting Better And Better" Says Fed President Who Last Week Unveiled QE4Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/20/2014 14:02 -0400
"I'll be honest: These speeches get more and more enjoyable as time goes by because the economic outlook keeps getting better and better. Instead of gloom and doom with a scattering of hopeful notes, things are now pretty upbeat, with only a couple of standard economist's caveats thrown in.... So the message is that things are getting better. We're on track to end our asset purchases and we're preparing for the time the economy can sustain an end to accommodation. We'll want to see improvements in unemployment, wages, and inflation, and we'll be driven by the data. But all in all, it's good news—with just a few of those requisite caveats thrown in."

Why The Fed Is Full Of It: Reverse Repo Is A Fairy TaleSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/02/2014 13:16 -0400
As we explained previously, the end-of-quarter catastrophe in reverse-repo window-dressing malarkey between The Fed and The Banks (that own it) shows the Fed simply has no idea (once again) how financial markets really work in the modern era. As Alhambra Partners Jeffrey Snider explains, "We don't exactly know how it will work" should be stamped upon every message coming from the policymaking apparatus from this point forward, and then retroactively applied to every message in the age of risk and rate repression. Action in short-term money markets has heated up yet again, and that is not a positive statement toward vital function.

Lurking Beneath The Taper: More Trouble In Repo LandSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/18/2014 14:09 -0400
Since we are now in the middle of the final month of a quarter, checking repo stats shows what we have come to expect of a fragile liquidity system. Once again, repo fails spiked sharply. The problem for "markets" is that repo is a primary liquidity conduit indicating significant and persistent degradation under, again, very benign conditions. There is no doubt that QE is the primary culprit here and that its removal is not "allowing" a healing process to begin but instead revealing the damage. With the Fed's reverse repo program having no impact whatsoever, it just adds to the weight of evidence that policymakers don't really know what they are doing and are just making it up as they go.

Goldman's Q&A On What Yellen Really Said (Or Didn't)Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/18/2014 09:31 -0400
Since it is the NY Fed, headed by an ex-Goldmanite, which will ultimately be tasked with exiting 6 years of "unconventional monetary policy" - at some point during this "recovery" if not now or any time soon for that matter - it is probably best to listen to Goldman for its post-mortem on what the chairwoman did or did not say. Which is why we present a "Q&A" with Goldman's head economist, Jan Hatzius, known to occasionally exchange a sandwich and the occasional policy guidelene, with NY Fed's Bill Dudley at the Pound and Pence, in which he explains how Yellen managed to be both more dovish and more hawkish than the "market" expected.

Enough Bad News Overnight To Send Futures Higher On Turbo TuesdaySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/12/2014 07:09 -0400
If the global equity "markets" were in need of a sharp "horrible news is great news" boost overnight, it came courtesy of Germany's ZEW investor confidence survey, which printed at a stunning 8.6, a plunge from the 27.1 in July and far below the 17.0 expected - the lowest print since December 2012 -largely suggesting that a European triple-dip is all but assured. And if that wasn't enough, strong language from John Kerry, assured to fan the flames of geopolitical instability, came hours ago when the US SecState said even more Russian sanctions may be coming. And just to make sure the NY Fed trading desk has to come up with a new narrative is the latest development in the Russian "humanitarian convoy" saga, which as we reported last night, has departed Russia but which Ukraine is now refusing to allow into its country. All in all, it's is setting up to be another super bullish day in the rigged markets for which all that matters is... Tuesday.

Goldman Explains What Yellen Really Said: "Hawkish Shift"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/15/2014 12:44 -0400
Who best to summarize what Yellen just said (aside from Bernanke of course, however he will demand at least $250,000/hour for his profound insight), than the bank which actually runs the NY Fed: Goldman Sachs. So without further ado, here is Goldman's Jan Hatzius on what Yellen really said. "BOTTOM LINE: The Q&A of Yellen's semi-annual monetary policy testimony contained a few bits of interesting information, including a slightly hawkish shift in her description of when FOMC participants think the first rate hike may occur."

JPMorgan Blows Up The Fed's "We Can 'Control' The Crash With Reverse Repo" PlanSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/12/2014 19:12 -0400
This is a big deal. On the heels of our pointing out the surge in Treasury fails (following extensive detailing of the market's massive collateral shortage at the hands of the unmerciful Fed's buying programs), various 'strategists' wrote thinly-veiled attempts to calm market concerns that the repo market (the glue that holds risk assets together) was FUBAR. Even the Fed itself sent missives opining that their cunning Reverse-Repo facility would solve the problems and everyone should go back to the important business of BTFATHing... They are wrong - all of them - as yet again the Fed shows its ignorance of how the world works (just as it did in 2007/8 with the same shadow markets). As JPMorgan warns (not some tin-foil-hat-wearing blogger with an ax to grind) "the Fed's reverse repo facility does little to alleviate the UST scarcity induced by the Federal Reserves' QE programs coupled with a declining government deficit." The end result, they note, is "higher susceptibility of the repo market to collateral shortages" and thus dramatically higher financial fragility - the opposite of what the Fed 'hopes' for.

Goldman's Yellen Spech Post Mortem: "Nothing To See Here, Move Along"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/02/2014 12:27 -0400
Goldman Sachs listened (and read) Janet Yellen's remarks at The IMF and see them "generally in line." Despite waffling on for minutes about risk management and monitoring, no one at The Fed has mentioned the total carnage in the repo market, spike in fails-to-deliver, and record reverse repo window-dressing that just occurred. The use of the term "reach for yield" twice and "bubble" 5 times, and admission that the Fed should never have popped the housing bubble, leaves us less sanguine than Goldman and wondering if this was Janet's subtle and nervous 'irrational exuberance" moment.

Record $189 Billion Injected Into Market From "Window Dressing" Reverse Repo UnwindSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/01/2014 13:30 -0400
When we reported yesterday's record reverse-repo surge, driven entirely by collateral-strapped financial entities scrambling to "window dress" their balance sheets with rented Fed-owned Treasurys for regulatory purposes, we said "Expect total reverse repo usage tomorrow to plunge by at least $150 billion as the banks will have fooled their regulator, which also happens to be the Fed, that they are safe and sound. Rinse, repeat, until the entire financial system collapses once again and people will ask "how anyone could have possibly foreseen this." Moments ago the Fed reported the daily reverse repo use. It turns out we were optimistic: it wasn't $150 billion, it was $189 billion. Following yesterday's $339 billion allottment, today this number tumbled to just $151 billion, meaing nearly $200 billion in fungible cash had to quick find a new home away from the Fed.

WTF Chart Of The Day: "Holy $340 Billion In Quarter-End Window Dressing, Batman"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/30/2014 13:59 -0400
Behold: a record $340 billion in reverse repos submitted by the world's financial institutions with the Federal Reserve, an increase of $200 billion overnight, and amounting to a record $3.5 billion on average among the 97 operations participants. Considering this is a clear quarterly event, it goes without saying that all the reverse repo is, is a quarter-end window dressing mechanism underwritten by Mr. Chairmanwoman itself.

Why "Margin Debt" Is Meaningless In The New Shadow Banking NormalSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/27/2014 11:23 -0400
Pundits enjoy pointing to NYSE margin debt as an indication of overall system leverage, and how prone to margin calls and liquidations the investor class may be at any given moment. However, in the new normal, in which sophsiticated investors fund themselves via completely different mechanism - mostly involving repo and other shadow banking conduits - margin debt has become a very much irrelevant indicator of overall leverage.

Investors and speculators face some profound challenges today: How to deal with politicized markets, continuously "guided" by central bankers and regulators? In this environment it may ultimately pay to be a speculator rather than an investor. Speculators wait for opportunities to make money on price moves. They do not look for "income" or "yield" but for changes in prices, and some of the more interesting price swings may soon potentially come on the downside. They should know that their capital cannot be employed profitably at all times. They are happy (or should be happy) to sit on cash for a long while, and maybe let even some of the suckers' rally pass them by. As Sir Michael at CQS said: "Maybe they [the central bankers] can keep control, but if people stop believing in them, all hell will break loose." We couldn't agree more.

The Roswell Police Department is planning an eight day recruitment trip to Michigan.
Roswell police are planning the 1,500 mile trip to promote the perks of working in southeastern New Mexico.
"Number one we don't have three foot of snow in the winter," said Sgt. Jim Preston.
Michigan has 20 law enforcement academies, and Roswell police will visit 14 of them.
Preston says it's a simple equation. A lot of academy graduates in Michigan, plus few jobs there, equals a prime combination for recruitment.
"The only reason people went to Michigan was because their job market tanked so bad and there was literally hundreds of people still getting certificates and degrees for law enforcement," said Preston.
Preston says Roswell police recruited there in 2012 and it worked.
"So, it was a very successful trip, because I mean it is an expensive thing to recruit in this manner," said Preston. "We spent a little over $7,000. But we were able to hire and keep over eight people which I believe is a huge success."
The department currently has 15 officers from Michigan.
Koren Vanderweele is one of them. She says coming here was a big move, but a good one.
"A lot of growing and becoming an officer, learning how to become an officer," said Vanderweele. "It's been incredible."
Preston says their experience with Michigan recruits has been so great, they want to hire more. This time, they're hoping to attract six officers.
If they're successful, that could mean over 20 percent of the Roswell police force is from Michigan.
"It's nice to know that other people understand where you're coming from, understand what you've experienced," said Vanderweele.
Roswell police are hoping to begin their recruiting trip the last week of September.

In an effort to bring reliable electricity supplies to emerging regions and remote island communities, Panasonic has developed an expandable, portable, self-contained photovoltaic system. The "Power Supply Container" comes equipped with 12 of Panasonic's HIT240 solar modules on the roof and generates approximately 3 kW of electricity, with 24 lead-acid batteries capable of storing 17.2 kWh of energy used to store excess electricity.

Could it one day be possible to generate electricity from the loss of heat from Earth to outer space? A group of Harvard engineers believe so and have theorized something of a reverse photovoltaic cell to do just this. The key is using the flow of energy away from our planet to generate voltage, rather than using incoming energy as in existing solar technologies. Read More
In 2010, Stanford University researchers reported harnessing energy directly from chloroplasts, the cellular "power plants" within plants where photosynthesis takes place. Now, by embedding different types of carbon nanotubes into these chloroplasts, a team at MIT has boosted plants' ability to capture light energy. As well as opening up the possibility of creating "bionic plants" with enhanced energy production, the same approach could be used to create plants with environmental monitoring capabilities.

Even today's best rechargeable lithium batteries do lose their ability to hold a charge after a while, and are considered toxic waste once discarded. In just a few years, however, they may be replaced by batteries that are refillable and biodegradable, and that will also have a higher energy density yet a lower price ... and they'll run on sugar.

Dollar General on Monday (Aug 18) made a counterbid for Family Dollar Stores, trumping an initial offer by Dollar Tree as the US war for the discount retail market heats up.
NEW YORK: Dollar General on Monday (Aug 18) made a counterbid for Family Dollar Stores, trumping an initial offer by Dollar Tree as the US war for the discount retail market heats up.
Dollar General, the largest dollar-store chain in the United States, offered to pay US$78.50 (S$98) per share in cash for Family Dollar, the country's second-largest deep discounter, in a deal valued at US$9.7 billion. Dollar General said the combined company with Family Dollar would have nearly 20,000 stores in 46 states and sales of more than US$28 billion.
In July, Family Dollar agreed to be acquired by Dollar Tree, the third biggest dollar chain, in a cash-and stock deal valued at US$9.2 billion, including debt, with Dollar Tree paying US$74.50 per share. Dollar General said its offer was "substantially superior" to Dollar Tree's, giving Family Dollar shareholders a better price and immediate liquidity for their shares.
"For Dollar General shareholders, the proposed combination of Dollar General and Family Dollar would be a significant strategic opportunity to create immediate and lasting shareholder value," said Rick Dreiling, Dollar General's chairman and chief executive. The customers of both companies would also benefit because "we would be able to provide better value and greater selection," he said.
If a merger agreement is reached, Dreiling, who previously had announced his retirement, would remain in his dual roles in the combined company until May 2016 to oversee the integration, the Goodlettsville,Tennessee-based company said.
Family Dollar, which sells name-brand and private-label goods at various prices, announced it had agreed to the merger deal with Dollar Tree on Jul 28. The combined company would have sales of more than US$18 billion and more than 145,000 employees.
The chain had been under pressure to put itself up for sale from activist investor Carl Icahn, who bought a stake in the company in early June. Shares in Dollar General on Monday jumped 11 per cent to US$63.79 in pre-market trade. Family Dollar was up 4.8 per cent at US$79.69; Dollar Tree fell 1.9 per cent to US$54.57.

My sister wrote this book of poems this year and yesterday, she read the following reviews about her book:
University of York journal: "in her powerful new book, Monika Lee reminds us that poems, like bodies, speak a language that is visceral, evocative, sensuous and real".
In "Canadian Literature," "her humour, wit, and unflinching view make us trust her, and want to live in the richness of this book as long as possible".
Good reviews, eh?
Here's a link about the book, if anyone is interested:
BIKING IN THE WINTER - - I was going to post this on your SparkPage but it seemed too long so since I'm behind on my blogs, I thought I would post it here and then everyone can have this information!
It�s getting close to winter now and it�s time to think about packing up your bike, or is it�.? While some of you might be thinking �Uh yeah right, like I don�t live in Maui�, there are ways to enjoy biking in the winter comfortably and safely. After all, the benefits of bike riding are immense including:
- Improved cardio vascular endurance
- Better Balance
- Stronger legs
- Easy on the joints
- Stress release from work and personal matters
Below is a list of things to keep in mind in order to stay warm:
- Wear a ski helmet, or a bike helmet with a hood, balaclava, toque, or helmet liner inside. Look for ski helmets meeting the Snell RS-98 standard. The CEN 1077 and ASTM standards are not quite as good.
- Ski goggles will keep your eyes warm. Double wall goggles prevent fogging. Wear sunglasses on very bright days, clear goggles of �shooting glasses� when it�s dim. Cover your lower face with a neoprene ski mask, balaclava, or long muffler.
- Use a scarf or neck warmer to keep your neck covered and warm.
- Wear silky underwear, not cotton.
- Your windproof jacket should cover your bum, even when hunched over on your bike. Zip fronts can let some air in when you get warm. Sweaters and fleece or down shirts inside should have sleeves to keep your thinner parts warm. Layering is good, but de-layer by undoing the front zips of your garments rather than stopping to undress.
- Warm hands are important. Wear warm ski mitts � they are warmer than gloves. The outside should be windproof. You may need to wear two pairs on colder days. Carry hand-warmer packets in case you need them.
- Fleece pants, leggings, windproof pants and silky long johns will keep your legs and feet warmer.
- Use wicking sports socks (not cotton) under thick wool or fleece socks inside warm boots. Bicycle gaiters will keep your feet and calves dry and warm. They fit over your toe and around your heel and extend almost up to your knee.
- Woven or neoprene material keeps the wind out better than knitted fabric. Avoid cotton � use wool or polyester fleece. Cotton will get wet and cold with sweat. Clean your clothing regularly to get sweat and spray out, keeping their insulation at maximum.
- Drink some hot cocoa � you can bring some along in a small thermos. Fill a water bottle with boiling water or Gatorade and keep it in an inner parka pocket to keep you warm (Too hot? Put a clean sock on it!) Drink it when it cools down a little.
Happy Biking, Don (and everyone else)!
When I went to the RBG this summer, I was kind of disappointed and then I was at my Dad's house and thought that his garden was better than what I'd seen at the RBG so I took some photos.
Then, I tried to post this blog in August but for some reason or another, SP wouldn't let me post my photos so I'm going to try again!
I'm sick. I have a cold. It's not particularly bad but it's enough to make me tireder (is that a word - it looks weird) than normal.
And, since I'm just hanging about the house, I've been doing A LOT of online shopping, which as I said above isn't necessarily good for the pocketbook! LOL!
So, what did I buy you ask?
I bought a China blue fleece hoodie from LL Bean because I used to have this particular fleece hoodie and I loved it so much that I wore the zipper out so I took it to the local seamstress and she said it would cost 40 dollars to put a new one in and since the hoodie didn't even cost that much, it seemed like a waste of money. And, LL Bean had it on sale for $23.99 so I HAD to buy it, right?
I also did some shopping at Avon where I bought a wallet on a string because my over the shoulder small purse that I've been using for the last 10 years is falling apart and this wallet was less than $10 so I HAD to buy it, right?
I also bought at Avon, an Ultra Color Rich Lipstick in Sparkling Blush. The lady at the drug store told me that a sparkling lipstick has the look of lipgloss but the staying power of lipstick and it's usually got more moisturizer in it so it's better for your lips so I HAD to buy it, right?
And, Avon also had these great 3-in-1 lipstick, gloss and liner that all match each other to take the guesswork out of choosing the right shades yourself so I bought 3 of them in Berry, Red and Delicate Rose.
And, I bought this nice watch (see photo) because the one I have now (which I love, by the way) can't be made smaller because I've had it for about 20 years and the jewellery store lady told me that the watch would fall apart if they tried to reduce the size so eventually, as I lose weight, I'm going to need a replacement and I really liked this one:
I picked the gold-plated one. Nice, eh? And, here's a photo of my current one:
And, because I spent so much money, they're sending me two "free" gifts!
I also did some shopping at Lands End where I bought a new nightgown because my current one is getting thin. My new one is red; my old one was blue. I also ordered 3 long sleeved t-shirts in purple, blue and red and I ordered a blue pinstripe shirt/blouse.
And, my final online shopping stop was at Collage Video where I bought Karen Voight's Quick & Slim Cardio, Michelle Dozois' Rockin' Body Cardio Jam, Work Out: One-On-One with Jackie, Kelly Coffey's 30 Min. to Fitness: Kickboxing and The Firm: Get Chisel'd.
And, all that shopping just about maxed out my online credit card so I'm done but oh, shopping online can be so much fun and addictive so I HAD to buy, right???
I did some retail therapy yesterday, too (as TRAINOF4 also did). I bought $155 worth of stuff for $130 (I had a $25 off coupon) and there was a sale on for 30 percent off the two blouses that I bought. I also bought a belt (never had one before but my new jeans are too loose and since I just bought them for $40, I decided that I needed a belt for them). I also bought 10 pairs of panty hose (5 beige and 5 black). I still have two beige pairs left from last year but I definitely needed more of them. And, that's just about it. I wore one of my new blouses to work today and I've received several compliments on it so that's always nice to hear.
One of my blouses has this colour scheme and pattern except the sleeves are shorter and the top part of the blouse is ruched kind of like a tube top.
And, my other blouse is this style but its colours are cranberry and black instead of just black and white like this one. And, actually the sleeves on this one are like the sleeves on the greenish coloured one.

CA Safety-Net Hospitals Stand to be Hard Hit by Federal Cuts
California safety-net hospitals are already operating on a tight budget, and a program to reduce federal subsidies could result in those hospitals facing a $1.5 billion shortfall by 2019.
California safety-net hospitals could be hit hard by a program that will reduce federal subsidies to hospitals based on the assumption that uncompensated care costs will decline with the arrival of federal healthcare reform.
The study from the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research published in the journal Health Affairs looked at the impact of pending reductions to disproportionate-share hospital payments. The federal government currently distributes $11.5 billion in DSH funds to states each year that are used to subsidize hospitals that care for a high percentage of the uninsured and patients covered through Medicaid.
The study estimates that California receives $1.1 billion in DSH payments per year—which covers about 50% of total uncompensated care costs—and that 98.5% of those funds go to 20 large county and public hospitals.
They include LAC + USC Medical Center in Los Angeles, Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, Alameda Health System, San Joaquin General Hospital, and Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. Discharge records show that 18% of patients at those hospitals have no insurance and that 41% are insured through Medi-Cal, which provides hospitals much lower reimbursement rates than private health plans.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Valerie R. Pounds (6/14/2014 at 4:56 PM)
I do not think that the CA Safety Net hospitals have anything to worry about. There will always be a population for them to serve. There are the uninsured, or under-insured, who do not have insurance because it is too expensive. My families health plan, although it is through his employer, is very expensive. We pay $600 per month, has a $1,250 deductible per family member, pays @ 70/30, does not cover simple things such as blood work @ 100%. Last but not least there are those who simply ignore everything that goes on around them, and will not get insured, They are not informed, and will not get informed.

Place of Birth
Prior to his injury, there were plans in place to have MVP winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from Eric Young. Since the company needed a heel champion to be the antagonist against Kurt Angle and his new on screen authority role, the belt went to Bobby Lashley instead. There are talks that TNA could try to figure out how to transfer the belt over to MVP soon.
July 5, 2014
During a recent podcast interview with Chris Jericho, MVP revealed that he was going to try to fight through the knee injury and work Slammiversary 2014. The former United States Heavyweight Champion is scheduled to challenge Eric Young for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at the pay per view. Management is still working on a backup plan in case his knee does not hold up, however.

Slammiversary 2014 takes place later on this month, and the main event might be in jeopardy. Originally, Eric Young was scheduled to defend the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against MVP, but the challenger suffered some sort of knee injury while working an independent wrestling show in England over the weekend. No word yet on the severity of the injury, but MVP was limping pretty badly.
June 1, 2014
Rumors are floating around that Randy Orton suffered a serious injury during the handicap street fight tag team match on Monday Night Raw. It took place early in the match when Dean Ambrose dove out of the ring and on to the heels. Orton reportedly told the trainer that the ruptured disc in his back was messed up. No word yet on whether or not he can work Hell in a Cell 2014, but as a precaution, WWE kept Orton from working Smackdown this week.
October 22, 2014
There were some speculations from online wrestling fans that Bray Wyatt had some sort of injury since he has not been utilized much on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown as much recently. However, the truth is that he is just fine. Wyatt continues to work matches on a regular basis during WWE live events. Management seems to be purposely not using him much on television.
October 4, 2014
Some crazy rumors are floating around right now about Nikki Bella and Brie Bella competing in a Hell in a Cell match at Hell in a Cell 2014. WWE is extremely unlikely to do this because they do want their female performers in gimmick matches that might cause severe injury, but the rumors have some merit because it was revealed by an insider who has accurately broken the news on a couple of things in the past.
September 29, 2014
Wade Barrett hasn't been on television in quite some time now because he suffered a shoulder injury during a match with Jack Swagger. He was recently up in Toronto, so he sought the help of Trish Stratus, a former WWE diva who now runs a successful yoga business. Barrett stated that the workout session with Trish helped his shoulder feel a bit better.
September 27, 2014
By now, a lot of people are aware that Santino Marella is in the process of trying to make a comeback to professional wrestling after being forced to retire due to a severe neck injury. The former Intercontinental Champion has now revealed that he hopes to be able to make a return to WWE in about six months. The belief is that the door is open for him to come back since management views his comedic routine as an asset.
September 26, 2014
Those of you that watch Impact Wrestling already know that Samoa Joe did a segment where he gave up the TNA X Division Championship. That led to some speculations from fans as to whether or not it is a story line. Unfortunately, the injury is a legitimate one. Joe has been having some problems with his shoulders. He might still try to work through the pain and perform at Bound For Glory 2014, though.
September 25, 2014
Through his Twitter account, Ryback revealed to fans that it has now been 18 days since his surgery, and he has been recovering extremely well from his still unknown injury, which is rumored to involve his groin. He should be making a return to WWE very soon, as he is now pain free. He might not be rushed back, though, as management really doesn't have a story ready for him.
September 15, 2014
Brie Bella recently gave WWE fans some hope when she revealed that Daniel Bryan was no longer going to need a second surgery to repair his neck injury. Many were expecting him to return by January, which happens to be the month that Royal Rumble 2015 takes place. However, reports are now surfacing that WWE is trying to see if Bryan can make his return at Survivor Series 2014 instead.
September 9, 2014
One of the growing points of emphasis on Monday Night Raw lately has become the bunny that accompanies Adam Rose to ringside. A lot of WWE fans are wondering who is the person behind the suit. Many of the guesses have been based upon the movies that the bunny does. However, management is simply throwing off the fans with moves like the super kick. Right now, the strongest candidate to be revealed under the suit is Darren Young, who should be returning from a serious leg injury soon.
September 9, 2014
During a media interview to promote Total Divas, Brie Bella revealed that Daniel Bryan would not be needing the second surgery that has long been rumored to repair his neck injury. She stated that her husband was gaining the strength back in his right arm and could be back as soon as three months, which would enable WWE to have him make a surprise return at Royal Rumble 2015.
September 7, 2014
Yesterday, it was revealed that WWE had pulled Daniel Bryan from the upcoming European tour in November. The former world heavyweight champion was scheduled to make appearances at the live events on that continent. Reports are now surfacing that management made the decision to pull him from the tour because Bryan has received confirmation from doctors that a second surgery is needed to repair his neck injury.
August 29, 2014
When word broke that Ryback was injured, there were some reports of skepticism from WWE officials that there really was no injury. However, the legitimacy of his health has been proven, as Ryback has posted a video of himself in the hospital. He clearly did go under the knife. It is being said that Ryback has worked with strained groins and hernias for the last year.
August 28, 2014
Considering the amount of pain that he withstood for the sake of entertaining fans over the years, it is a bit surprising that Mick Foley did not spend more time on the sidelines. He has retired from WWE now, but an injury is preventing him from working. Back issues have prompted the former world heavyweight champion to cancel an upcoming appearance in Denver. No word yet on whether or not it will be rescheduled.
August 27, 2014
Since Ryback is on the shelf for a couple of weeks, it will be interesting to see what WWE does with Curtis Axel. There were already plans being discussed a couple of weeks ago to split up the tag team, so it should come as no surprise if management opted to use the injury as an excuse to accelerate those plans. WWE no longer believes that Axel is worthy of being a top level guy, but they do believe he can still be a useful member of the roster.
August 27, 2014
Patience isn't always a virtue in WWE. Wade Barrett was initially told by doctors that he would not be able to make his return to the ring until December. However, the company has a big tour of Europe in November. Since Barrett is viewed as a bit of a draw on that continent, WWE has started advertising his appearances. The belief is that Barrett will rush back from the injury to work those shows.
August 27, 2014
There was a little bit of a buzz earlier in the week when Ryback posted a message about taking time off from WWE. It escalated a bit further when he deleted the comment from Twitter, which is something that he has done several times in the past. It has now been confirmed that he suffered some sort of injury and will be needing a few weeks off of the road to recover.
August 27, 2014
While it appears that he is still under contract to WWE, it does not seem like the company is going to be bringing Rey Mysterio back to television, even after his hand injury heals. The two sides are greatly at odds right now, and it seems like management is more concerned about preventing him from going to another company at this point. A reconciliation seems unlikely right now.
August 24, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that WWE officials were not too pleased with the performance that Alexander Rusev put on at Summerslam 2014 in his flag match against Jack Swagger. His selling of an ankle injury was sub par, and the manner in which he sold it was not very fitting of his character. WWE really wants him in the main event scene, so they're paying much more attention to his matches than usual.
August 21, 2014
Another speed bump has presented itself in the career of Shelton Benjamin. The former Intercontinental Champion has suffered a serious knee injury while working in Japan. He is expected to miss a couple of months of action because of the surgery. Benjamin was sidelined earlier in the year when he had surgery on his elbow, but he recovered much quicker than expected from that injury.
August 17, 2014
While working a tag team match with Eddie Edwards at a TNA live event in Pennsylvania, Davey Richards suffered a serious leg injury. Upon being rushed to the hospital, it was discovered that he has a broken fibula. Richards is expected to be out of action for approximately 6 weeks, which means that TNA will need to figure out what they want to do with the tag team titles.
August 16, 2014
After being given some time off of television, where his character was serving a story line suspension, Bobby Roode made his much anticipated return to Impact Wrestling this week. The former TNA champion came back to save Eric Young, who had just lost the world title, from an attack by MVP, Kenny King and Bobby Lashley. Roode received a warm reception from the audience.
June 19, 2014
In a surprising move, Bobby Lashley walks away from Impact Wrestling this week as the next world heavyweight champion in TNA. He was given a title shot against Eric Young, who defended the belt earlier in the night against Kenny King. With the odds stacked against him, Young put on a good effort, but in the end, Lashley proved to be too much. A spear and a pin ended the match.
June 19, 2014
Since MVP has a badly injured knee, TNA decided to change up the main event of Slammiversary 2014. Eric Young will still be defending the world heavyweight championship in a steel cage at the event, but he's now going to be doing so against two opponents. The winners of the respective matches between Samoa Joe, Bobby Lashley, Kenny King and Austin Aries will be challenging Young for the belt.
June 13, 2014
In case you did not catch Impact Wrestling this week, Samoa Joe made his return to TNA. He received a bit of a pop as he came back to save Eric Young and Bully Ray from an attack by MVP, Kenny King and Bobby Lashley in the final segment of the show. Upon signing with TNA, MVP specifically mentioned Samoa Joe as a performer that he wanted to work against, so that feud could be happening soon.
May 30, 2014
For those of you that do not watch Impact Wrestling on a regular basis, MVP has done a heel turn. The former United States Heavyweight Champion has also given himself a shot at Eric Young and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at Slammiversary 2014 as well. Management pulled the trigger on the move, as they feel that MVP could be more valuable as an antagonist.
May 9, 2014
A new Slammiversary 2014 poster has been released. This time, new TNA World Heavyweight CHampion Eric Young is featured instead of Brutus Magnus.
May 3, 2014
"I think if I shaved my beard I might lose both of my jobs. The beard is one of my things now and has been since 2009. I had a beard when it was considered weird. If I shave now people would not recognize me." - TNA World Heavyweight Champion Eric Young talks about a change he refuses to make because of television
April 29, 2014
In a sign that he still holds some value to the network, Eric Young has been given another television show. This time, it is called No Limits, and it is supposed to be a continuation of his Off the Hook: Extreme Catches show. Young will be going around the country, and trying out various extreme activities, such as learning how to be a lumberjack in the Smoky Mountains.
April 28, 2014
In the main event of TNA Sacrifice 2014, Eric Young was able to defeat Brutus Magnus to retain the world heavyweight championship. Young scored the pin fall victory after delivering two piledrivers and a top rope elbow drop. During the match, Magnus attempted to cheat by using a weapon to win the TNA title back, but the referee caught him.
April 27, 2014
A video from Impact Wrestling of Brutus Magnus going crazy and assaulting Abyss and TNA World Heavyweight Champion Eric Young.
April 26, 2014
A lot of fans are quick to point out the similarities between Eric Young winning the heavyweight championship and Daniel Bryan winning the heavyweight championship. However, people backstage in TNA are denying that there is a correlation. Company officials are standing by their stance that the move was done in order to surprise the fans.
April 24, 2014
A video of Eric Young and Abyss fighting one another in a Monster's Ball match on Impact Wrestling. This was done by TNA to give the world heavyweight champion some more credibility and to get fans to buy that he is not just a comedy gimmick.
April 21, 2014
A video from Impact Wrestling where Dixie Carter confronts Eric Young and says that she owns the beard that the TNA World Heavyweight Champion is sporting.
April 19, 2014
Rumors have it that people backstage in WWE are amused by the fact that TNA put their world heavyweight championship around the waist of Eric Young. It is not so much a shot at Young, as many in the industry feel that he is a good worker and a nice person. The ridicule is more about how TNA went about with the story line of crowning him as champion.
April 19, 2014
Since he is now the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, Eric Young is being given a bit of a gimmick change, as management wants to move him further away from the comedic character that he has portraying over the years. TNA wants fans to believe that Young is a credible champion. His Monster's Ball match against Abyss on Impact Wrestling was to aid that.
April 19, 2014
Rumors have it that another reason why TNA gave the world heavyweight championship to Eric Young was to keep him from joining Jeff Jarrett in Global Force Wrestling. Young and Jarrett have a long history together, and they remain on very good terms. Since he is a very good worker and well liked backstage, TNA would much rather he stay with them long term.
April 18, 2014
A message on Twitter from Mick Foley, where the WWE legend congratulates Eric Young on winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
April 18, 2014
If TNA decides to keep the belt on Eric Young for the long term, an idea which is being tossed around backstage because of his marketing value at the moment, then management is going to push Bobby Roode up as a challenger for the world heavyweight championship. There are still talks of Brutus Magnus recapturing the belt at TNA Sacrifice 2014.
April 14, 2014
A video of Eric Young winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from Brutus Magnus on Impact Wrestling this week.
April 13, 2014
While fans are shocked that Eric Young has captured the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, there are actually a couple of reasons why management went this route. For starters, they wanted to reward Young for his years of loyalty to the company. Secondly, they want to capitalize a bit on his mainstream success as of late.

Amdocs Positioned in Leaders Quadrant for Operations Support Systems by Leading Analyst Firm
Evaluation based on completeness of service assurance, fulfillment vision and ability to execute
Rich Text Editor
- November 12, 2012
Amdocs (NYSE: DOX), the leading provider of customer experience systems and services, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for Operations Support Systems (OSS) . The report evaluates the capabilities of end-to-end vendors in the global market for OSS service assurance and fulfillment.
"We believe our recognition as a Leader in Gartner's OSS Magic Quadrant report is another example of the portfolio leadership and expertise Amdocs offers to our global customer base," said Rebecca Prudhomme, vice president for product and solutions marketing at Amdocs. "Amdocs' proven ability to deliver scalable, pre-integrated OSS solutions enables service providers to stay ahead by quickly rolling out new network technologies and introducing new services to generate new revenue streams, all the while achieving operational efficiencies."
According to Gartner, leaders in this market:
Have strong market presence and significant market share, most of them globally. All leading vendors portrayed in this Magic Quadrant have a comprehensive OSS offering and would still be Leaders even if they needed partners.
Adopt a leading-edge position by offering comprehensive, pre-integrated, modularized TOMS suites. Beyond OSS, all leading vendors encroach into the adjacent BSS and SDP markets. Leaders are well positioned with their current product and service portfolios and their strategies.
Have a coherent vision that anticipates current and future requirements.
May not offer the best solution for every type of communications service provider (CSP), depending on their business models and maturity. However, they have proven implementation viability, and can achieve and sustain high-quality, low-risk deployments.
Gartner also notes that "CSPs' requirements shift toward highly configurable OSS platforms that support multiple network technologies and manifold services. Technology itself is increasingly becoming a commodity. Differentiation is achieved through thought leadership in the areas of business consulting, service design and integration, and implementation services around OSS."
Amdocs' portfolio uniquely combines market-leading BSS, OSS and network control solutions with professional services and managed services operations. The company's IT services approach with pre-integrated product packs is proven in multiple, multi-technology legacy transformations.
In FY2012 Amdocs announced major customer orders for OSS solutions and services, including
Ecuador's CNT
Tata Communications
TIM Brasil
Virgin Media
and introduced several new OSS solutions, such as

Kathryn Tickell & The Side
Doors Open: 7:45PM Starts: 8:00PM
Performing: Kathryn Tickell and The Side
The world's finest player of the Northumbrian pipes and genuine folk royalty! Join Kathryn and her new band The Side for evocative airs and toe-tapping reels.
More information about Kathryn Tickell & The Side tickets
A genuine delight to welcome to ARC one of the UK's most celebrated and acclaimed folk musicians, and the world's finest exponent of the traditional Northumbrian pipes.
Since emerging onto the folk scene in the late 1980s Kathryn Tickell has clocked up no less than fourteen studio albums, three appearances at The Proms, and prestigious collaborations with the likes of Sting, The Chieftains, Beth Nielson Chapman, The Penguin Café Orchestra and folk legend Linda Thompson.
That is in addition to receiving the coveted Queen's Medal for Music and being crowned Musician of the Year at the 2013 BBC Folk Awards!
And her band The Side are no less accomplished. Harpist Ruth Wall has performed with Goldfrapp and is a regular collaborator with acclaimed composer Graham Fitkin, Louisa Tuck has been principal cellist with the Royal Northern Sinfonia since 2007 (and plays on the theme to Downton Abbey!), and accordion player Amy Thatcher also happens to be one of the country's most in-demand clog dancers.
Together, they channel their diverse musical backgrounds into a powerful combination of sounds… from slow, evocative airs to life-affirming jigs and reels. Formed in 2013, they played their debut gig to a delighted Cambridge Summer Music Festival crowd, and have already gained rapturous reviews from both the mainstream and the specialist folk press. And all the while, they continue to drop tantalising hints about a forthcoming debut album. Fingers crossed!
